The coverage categories and limits are stated in your insurance policy. Either it's plainly covered or not. Should be clear, and an insurance agent should be able to explain, but if not, schedule a legal consultation. Also, you state that a pipe leakage flood caused damage. If water itself... View More

There are good and bad insurance companies, and the bad ones routinely deny valid claims and/or are extremely stingy because they figure their resulting higher profits will outweigh the losses caused by lawsuits. When an insurance company has no rational basis for its denial or stingy offer,... View More

You will have to ask your attorney for copies, or you will have to contact the clerk of the court and request and pay for copies of the documents that you need.

What you are going through is not uncommon. I now add to agreements a date certain, where possible. Your attorney can threaten to pull the settlement or make a motion to enforce.

The fact that the shipper did not give you written acknowledgement of the damage doesn't absolve your insurance company of liability. An affidavit from you should be sufficient.

Insurance provider says my policy only pays my custodial care if I am physically in my facility. I can visit my family but they deduct for each day I am away which is 4 days per month. i.e. $1,200 per month.

This issue likely depends on the language of your insurance policy. First, ask the insurance co. to tell you which specific section of the policy applies. Then, to be certain of your rights, consult an elder law attorney.

You can file a lawsuit for breach of contract or for declaratory relief against both Progressive and Dealer Protection Loyalty. I'd sue both because the GAP company may be right and Progressive may have undervalued what it should have paid.

In an insurance contractor contract it's specified that in order to exit the contract the claim owners need to pay the contractors %25 or $5,000. It is not specified which one takes precedence. Is it up to the contractor to choose which one or does it default to whichever one is less?
answered on Mar 30, 2023
A rule of construction (interpretation of contractual language) is that ambiguities are resolved against the party who drafted the ambiguous language. So, assuming that the other party (an "an insurance contractor", whatever that is) drafted it, it would be whichever is less.

It seems odd that a mere spelling error on the insurance paperwork should prevent you from getting medical care for your child. If the child needs medical attention, ask the medical provider to contact the insurer and get the care pre-approved.
